Sounds like a very interesting competition.

Im wondering if submited maps, will be evaluated solemly from overview, or if they are tested in game, and / or if played?

Will there be any Email response to if you are, or are not selected.
And will you be able to see any evaluation summary? since that information could be useful even though you did not get in the top few.

Cheers G.

Quick question: are you allowed to turn down a pro in favour of another one?

Im not the correct one to answer that, but logicaly that would mean it would be possible if they have anyone to "spare".

But judging by the randomize system, that would mean you need to run the randomize system all over again for everyone else.

But one option could perhaps be, swaping with another Am.

but like i said im not the one to answer that question, just thought i'd share my point of view.

Why would you turn down a pro to begin with? unless you have personal feud with the pro, there should be no reason why you wouldn't want him. They are all entirely qualified with their expertise and I have full trust in all of them to instruct and help you in every way possible.

I would wager that pros will choose maps based on the overview, although if they want to see maps in more detail that can be arranged (also means its a good idea to upload your map).

Will there be any Email response to if you are, or are not selected.
And will you be able to see any evaluation summary? since that information could be useful even though you did not get in the top few.

Cheers G.

Responses will be either PMd or emailed, haven't decided that yet. But yes, everyone will get a response.
There may or may not be an evaluation summary the finalists, but there definitely won't be for the maps which are not selected by the pros.

I suppose that if there are certain people you dont want to work with you can specify that in the email (pro list comes out in 2 weeks). Other than that, it will be the pros who make the selections, not the other way around.

How many maps can be picked per mapper?
If you contribute 3 maps, can all 3 be chosen or can only the "best" out of 3?

You can submit up to three maps, but only 1 will be worked on with a pro. The Am/Pros work in pairs- the 3 maps is just to allow more choices from the pros, and to give the people submitting more flexibility and potential for being chosen.

^this. also if a person has maybe 2 really good maps, the pro can choose one that might go to his strength.

This is exactly what the mapping community needs. Allows for newer mappers to get substantial feedback and improve and also to better understand the process of map-making while also reinvigorating the pros so that they can use a lot of the more interesting concepts which they might not be coming up with.

I feel that the mapping community has already given a ton of feedback to the newer mappers when they post their maps. i know i for one try to always give people some feedback on their maps. this is just something to make them stretch their limits and go big on their maps.

I agree. This is more to take the set of map-makers that is right below the "top level" and bring them on up. It's a good idea.

You're not everyone lol.

Also, what i'm dreaming of is a nomination ceremony like in gsl. Would be so awesome <3 but since i'm ineligible to participate, if i'm not invited, that means i can't do anything right ? D:

Oh and gogogo tl frontpage too

wat do you mean im not everyone? a lot of people give feedback besides myself. they might not do it on every single map, but there's a lot of good feedback in the community as a whole.

Btw this may be obvious but if you're an amateur you should really focus a lot on the overall idea and layout of the map more than detailed execution or aesthetics for maps you submit. Aesthetics and those details in balance can always be fixed, but if the map is just plain boring or a really bad idea that's a lot harder to work with.

And even if you're rly good at aesthetics, you better use that on ethe collaborated map, than waste it on a map that might not be used, or changed much. I just imagined a nice scenario - an 'amateur' submits a map that gets chosen by one 'pro' and the pro decides to not want to change anything - maybe just work on aesthetics and move a doodad from original concept. Can the map still win, given that it would be good enough to win?

It should be a legal move by the pro, because why fix something that doesn't have to be fixed? There shoudln't be a rule in this contest or any other that says that it has to be changed just for the sake of changing.

Working on the textures of my first production. Figure I'll end up submitting it here, though I started on it a while before I read this. Here is a small preview
